The galleries at UNE provide a unique approach to the visual arts in Maine through recognizing a wide range of academic and scientific interests in juxtaposition with contemporary art.
Exhibits are chosen to highlight the institutional strengths and interests of UNE with an emphasis on earth, environmental, and social sciences; medicine; education; arts; and humanities. We promote a broad, diverse, inclusive, and thought-provoking range of perspectives within the specific context of each exhibition.
We maintain two gallery locations; on UNE’s Biddeford and Portland campuses. Each gallery mounts approximately three exhibitions each academic year in a variety of media and focusing on a range of themes.
